A visually detailed account of Tim's work in San Diego and destinations abroad
So I’m writing to you from NYC, last night I arrived in town just 20 minutes late to catch my connecting flight home to Colorado. But it was all worth it, because the delay on the flight leaving Europe allowed me to see the sight pictured below! In either case, I’m not going to let...
Happy Bday brohamFebruary 8, 2012 – 2:35 pm
Happy Bday! Love your job.February 8, 2012 – 11:09 am
Happy birthday mate, safe flight back to So Cal.February 8, 2012 – 11:03 am
Dude what an amazing job you’ve done with your first quarter century! Happy birthday buddy.February 8, 2012 – 10:27 am
Happy Birthday! Let the next year be even more exciting and adventurous!!! ;)February 8, 2012 – 8:29 am
I’m coming up on my 4-year anniversary of when I started my photography business, and looking back – I’ve learned A TON. Not only about gear, business strategy, or how to take a good photo – but mainly about MYSELF as a person. If someone were to have told me everything that’s involved in being...

Powerful post because I relate to every single point on this. Beautifully written, I’m sharing this for sure! Great job!January 25, 2012 – 9:31 am
I just wanted to say that there are so several photography blogs I go to (that I love:) and just scan through their current work. Of course I love to see your latest ventures as well but I truly love these types of posts. I so appreciate how authentic, honest, and willing to put it all out there you are. It makes you more than just a brand:) so thanks for being awesome!!January 21, 2012 – 11:11 am
I look forward to learning some stuff!January 20, 2012 – 4:30 pm
There is something liberating about realizing that everything you ever wanted is in your control and with some confidence and self enlightenment you can find joy is everything you have and continue to learn and grow. This is a pretty awesome blog, tim, personal, but inspiring too.January 20, 2012 – 1:46 pm
Powerful post, my friend. You speak the truth. Very well put. Thanks!January 20, 2012 – 11:29 am
This post couldn’t be more perfectly timed for me – thank you so much for sharing! I am right in the middle of the being-scared-shitless phase and it’s so encouraging to know that it turns around somewhere out there (and that I’m not the only one!). I’ve recently accepted that I really do love my full-time job and want to have success in that industry – which means my photography will grow at a slower pace. Being okay with that is challening every part of my over-achieving nature – but I’m learning to search out experiences that add value rather than throwing myself into just any shoot.January 20, 2012 – 10:15 am
And one other thing while I’m here commenting… Things I’d like to hear your take on: branding, logo, website – where does one begin when thinking about these things. I think it is important to have a professional look online where people can go to learn about a photographer. But as a photographer we master the camera and our technique, how do you apply that same toward building your professional image online (branding, logo, website)?January 20, 2012 – 10:07 am
The more I visit your blog the more I fall “in love” with your work. Not literally in love but I think you know the point I’m trying to make. I like that you’re insightful. It’s easy to Google things and learn things by watching YouTube vids or whatever, but you bring a personal touch to your posts that you can’t Google. I’m happy that you started blogging more and I look forward to reading more of your insights :)January 20, 2012 – 9:53 am
Awesome! Very clear and to the point. I can relate and all very key points. Look forward to the upcoming post.January 20, 2012 – 9:44 am
Very nice post, Tim. [Publishing a self-help book could be in your future. Seriously.]
For me… I’ve gotta take steps to move beyond shooting stripper funerals.January 20, 2012 – 9:37 am
Love hearing what you have to say, Tim. I really do hope that I get the chance to hang out with you for at least a couple of hours one day – I think it would do wonders for me in more ways than you can imagine.January 20, 2012 – 9:25 am
Great points Tim. Photography really does reveal a lot about a person, and shows a lot about their character in terms of what they decide to put out there in terms of content.January 20, 2012 – 8:51 am
awesome post! You nailed that first point! (all of them, actually…but I was just talking to a friend about this earlier.) Looking forward to more posts. Thanks for being willing to share!!January 20, 2012 – 6:13 am

Great post Tim. Here’s our story about the 5 months we spent in SE Asia http://www.teamjessee.com. The “Beginner’s Luck” blog post is about our experience at Maya Bay. You are absolutely right about being ruined after having visited. Nothing compares. Love the pics! And, did you really put your camera in the sand??? HahaJanuary 17, 2012 – 12:40 am
Would it be the movie “The Beach”? Looks awesome there. It’s going to be hard to top huh?January 10, 2012 – 5:32 pm
The Beach with Leo Dicaprio! Stunning!January 10, 2012 – 4:42 pm
Looks like a mind blowing trip. Darn you Tim King, now I have another spot to visit on my bucket list.January 10, 2012 – 3:46 pm
The Beach? Looks totally Leonardo to me :)January 10, 2012 – 11:40 am
Looks like an awesome trip dude! Having a cute chick along for the ride never hurts eitherJanuary 10, 2012 – 11:03 am
Amazing post! Now I’m boosting up Thailand to a higher priority of my “to-travel” list. Oh the halo around the moon, i took a photo of that a while back in LA.. we looked it up and it’s an optical phenomenon produced by ice crystals creating colored or white arcs and spots in the sky. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_(optical_phenomenon)January 10, 2012 – 10:32 am
And I thought the post on Bali was awesome. WOW. Thanks for taking us along for the ride through your memories. Now I really want to travel.January 10, 2012 – 7:18 am
This past September, I took one of the most spontaneous vacations I’ve ever gone on in my entire life. Not just because it was planned so soon prior to the actual trip, but because I had only known the girl I went with for such a short time before. Irene & I had gone on...

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
As opposed to New Years resolutions (I feel like facebook/twitter is clogged with false promises these days), I like to approach things month-by-month this year, as I feel like 30 days can only handle ‘so much’ – that, and the fact that I think about launch dates according to other events & timing.

I read a quote the other day that went something like this: “If you knew that it was the last time you were going to see one of your friends alive, how tightly would you hug them?” It hit me. Hard. And it got me to thinking, (with the Mayan prophecy & all) if this...

So inspiring. Definitely putting ‘Do More Crazy Sh*t like Tim King’ at the top of my goals list this year…December 30, 2011 – 2:09 pm
Seriously!! You’ve had quite the year and proof to show, ha! I remember watching the video of you destroying your knees and 5d (I cried for you)…. Look forward to 2012December 30, 2011 – 7:26 am
Whatta year!!
I can’t help but roll my eyes at the “100 girl trip” and I CERTAINLY think of you and your battered knees (+Puff Daddy ft. Faith Evans) every time a scooter scoots by.
Glad I got to meet you this year. Wow, it hasn’t even been a WHOLE YEAR! There’s a big one ahead of you, that’s for sure. Hope HAWAII makes the list!December 29, 2011 – 12:32 pm

PS, Love the personal touch… These are the blogs I (and a lot of people) will continute to read. People love to connect with you on a personal level. I will blog stalk you even more now that I know that you are from CO. JKDecember 29, 2011 – 7:41 am
Oh my gosh… so just a quick (I lie, a long) FYI… I came across your blog randomly about a month ago by looking up photogs in SD (I used to live there and love seeing pics out there)but I mainly grew up in CO. I also read Jasmine Star’s blog and just realized you two know eachother. Then when I saw this post about you being from CO, I had to give a shout out. ha! But really, you are truly an awesome photog. I will be launching my photography business with in the next 3-5 months. Maybe one of these days we will have a run in at a workshop or something… Happy New Year!!December 29, 2011 – 7:34 am

You are super talented and incredibly knowledgable, so it’s fun to get a glimpse into the life of Tim The King, if only for a brief, mysterious second. ;)

Tim, THANK YOU! I’ve been in a new town for a little over a year, and everyday things get a little better, but there are days where it’s hitting a brick wall. Your post is just what I needed. This is part of the core reasons for all the changes I’m doing to my branding and business. Again, thank you for the timely and insightful info.

Thanks for the mention Tim! Great post! Completely agree with #7. I can’t tell you how much it has helped push me to new limits. You being one of the people I’m thankful for meeting as you’re definitely in my group of friends who have a passion for life. It’s very refreshing to share experiences with like-minded individuals. I look forward to many more adventures.
You’d better come to Europe and I’m booking tickets soon to make this Northern Lights trip happen..although it might be a tad shorter than expected now that I need to be in Paris by the 6th. Definitely want to hit up Iceland for the traditional Viking festival. Wanna eat putrified shark, testicles and sheep head? Haha!December 19, 2011 – 5:40 pm

Thanks for the tips, kind sir. I could use a few friends out here, but, thanks to both you and Maria saying “HEY, you should meet Ashley!” (and vice versa), I have found love in Marissa Rodriguez. hahaha.
I like to think I pull people together, but I need to work on getting involved in some other groups.

Nice write-up, Tim. I’ve had #7 in mind for way too many years, but I think fear of actually starting something has held me back. Need to treat it like my skydive and just go for it.December 19, 2011 – 11:25 am
I’ve done a few of the meetups…while you say you’re still deciding on them…I should say I’ve been to some that are a little strange, but there are definitely some good ones too. It’s great to put yourself out there, and sometimes you meet great friends in the strangest of circumstances!December 19, 2011 – 11:00 am

That’s some great stuff broham!!!!
Thank goodness there wasn’t a “When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong” story here.December 17, 2011 – 1:12 pm
Tim, I think you’d like this book: http://www.amazon.com/Education-Millionaires-What-Think-Portfolio/dp/1591844207/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
He profiles and interviews a number of successful people who lacked formal education (or college/high-school dropouts) who gained their smarts in the real world.
For example, Walt Disney had to bathe once a week in Central Station when he was starting out because no one would buy his cartoons. And he talks about what they all had in common – the traits of the “Entrepreneurial” (contributor) mind-set vs the “Employee” (entitlement) mind-set.
Anyway, what I really wanted to say was, my friend Jessica runs a marketing agency for non-profits (dogoodcomm.com) and they perform lots of philanthropic endeavours… including high school workshops and teaching. If you’re feeling a lack of fulfillment on the philanthropic side it could be a good introduction for you (I’m sure they’d love your work as well).

Awesome as usual Tim, I always enjoy seeing the world through your eyes. Now I have to admit, that’s my kind of running with the bulls! LOL. Hope you have a great day.December 11, 2011 – 5:40 am

Hi Tim. My friend, Sara Wilbur’s facebook post yesterday inspired me to check out your post & blog challenge. I joined in yesterday and am deciding to make an official, public commitment today (though I’m not a photographer). And my posts won’t ‘count’ in your challenge since they won’t be up by noon most days. Here’s my day two post with a note at the end about my “Start Now 30 day blog post challenge.

Hey Tim!
I am in! Woot Woot! Hi five to you! I just blogged:) Tomorrow is day 2!December 8, 2011 – 9:39 am
Hey Tim, Great idea for a post. I’ve blogged every day for over a thousand days in a row and I’ll tell all those photogs who are nervous about being able to do – once you make it a priority, it doesn’t seem so bad. In my mind, it’s not a question of “should I blog today?” – instead it’s “what specifically should I blog today?” Those two words at the beginning make a really big difference. I take the escape route right out of the equation. I’ve found that as I’m more and more consistent with my blogging, the more and more people come back daily (or subscribe) to the blog. The end result is that I’m on my clients’/potential clients’minds every morning when they open their inbox or sign in to the rss reader, etc. It’s been well worth the time investment. Thanks for coming up with a fun way to keep each other accountable!December 7, 2011 – 9:15 pm
I love this! I have a travel blog [http://blog.kait.us/] that is pretty far behind, maybe 30 posts will get me up to present day. I’ve been back-date-ing my posts so the date reflects when I was somewhere (rather than when I’m finally writing about it). That might make it hard to see that I’m following the rules from my blog, but I’ll tweet new posts to @kait3210 to compensate. Excitement!December 7, 2011 – 8:18 pm
oh I want to commit so bad but just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt… someone push me into the pool! Please!December 7, 2011 – 5:40 pm
this is so great! i hope you do it again in the near future! being that we JUST moved to hawaii from san diego, things are a little crazy right now so there is no way that i could keep up. but i’d love to participate if you ever decide to do it again! :)December 7, 2011 – 5:15 pm
This interests me on so many levels. There is the fact that it may force me to be more eloquent, detailed and informative on my posts, I tend to write in short sentences. I will have to have ideas prepared ahead of time. http://www.sabotimages.com/blog.htmlDecember 7, 2011 – 1:32 pm
Tim, I’m hoping I’m not too late to join in on this awesome challenge!?!?
Blogging has always been a huge effort for me – I blog every couple of months, and feel like I’ll never find enough topics, or nobody wants to hear it anyways. EEEEk! I know I “should” blog more often from a business perspective, but I totally struggle with it. This challenge is seriously the push I need to get me going!!
Please say it isn’t too late…..pppppppppplease!!

Tim and the J* Jets continue to amaze me! The momentum and enthusiasm that you bring each other as a group oooooozes out to the rest of us! I’d love to share your 30-day challenge with the rest of the creativeLIVE community! Here’s to ending 2011 with a bang and starting 2012 with an even bigger one! Rock on Tim!December 7, 2011 – 10:24 am
You always push me. and I have a love/hate relationship with you for it.
http://www.ashleygoodwinblog.comDecember 7, 2011 – 8:38 am
Ok, so I’m in. For several weeks now I’ve put off updating my blog. (I am in the middle of totally changing my photography business and it’s look) Every excuse in the book. Well, maybe some legit ones were in there, anyway. When a photographer like Tim, puts something like this out there, well, you’d be crazy not to jump in because you know in 30 days you will be better for it, you will learn a lot about yourself, and it will be amazing.
My blog, (bless it’s pitiful heart) http://saundramcbridephotography.wordpress.com/
Have a great evening!
SaundraDecember 6, 2011 – 6:25 pm
I might regret it but this motivated me to launch my blog so I’m in. I’ll post the link today or tomorrow. I get off work in a couple of hrs and will be buying my blog…. HERE WE GO!!!!December 6, 2011 – 5:43 pm
Erghhh, to participate or not… that is the question! >_<December 6, 2011 – 2:52 pm
I’m in! Here is my link: http://www.damarismia.net/
I may do this for my wedding blog as well.. which is: http://www.lemagnifiqueblog.com/
I know.. crazy.December 6, 2011 – 2:08 pm
And, you know, the important part – http://www.sarawilburphotography.com :)December 6, 2011 – 1:32 pm
I know that on a very late night a week from now I’m going to be kicking myself for saying this… but I’m in. Rather than competing with one person directly, I’m happy to keep a list of participants and promote anyone who would like it during the 30 days.December 6, 2011 – 1:31 pm
Game on sir.December 6, 2011 – 1:26 pm
Tomorrow will be the first day of the challenge, so anyone can still get in before tomorrow at noon. I’m stoked! This is going to be a fun month :)December 6, 2011 – 1:24 pm
Ok..I am game…hahaha…so I am assuming today is the first day or will it begin tomorrow since noon PST is long gone? http://miriansilvablog.comDecember 6, 2011 – 1:21 pm
I’m in. You know I can’t back down from a challenge! And I’m confident that the reward here will be WAY more satisfying than a slice of pizza and $10 ;) http://erinoveisbrantblog.comDecember 6, 2011 – 10:24 am

That isn’t stopping me from checking in on the participants, though. I’m excited to see the content they manage to produce over 30 consecutive days (I start getting a headache just thinking about it). And, dude, they have to be serious entries.

You keep as ALL inspired & motivated friend! Love ya like whoa!October 19, 2011 – 8:04 am
Tim, i’ve been following you since I saw you on the Creative Live thingy with Jasmine Star. :) Anyway, I really loved reading this post. I totally feel the same way! Life is too short to just sit back and never do anything. I just returned from shooting my first ‘destination’ wedding in Las Vegas. I almost turned it down because I didn’t believe I was good enough and could handle it. But I thought what the heck and took it anyway and had an absolute blast. Life is what you make it. I’m excited to see where your next trip takes you. :)
ChristyOctober 3, 2011 – 7:29 pm
THANK YOU.
Your inspiration comes from a distant cousin. Funny how strangers can think and believe the same. I am 29, treading water in the same old town, going no where…(on the Least Coast ha). My dreams have escaped me, but in the end need to speak louder than my actions. Perhaps this will change THIS year.
My camera has been broken, and I want and need to fix it but cannot. My pocket book is empty. I still have my Nikon SLR (film)…wondering if I should bring it back and go with it as it has yet to fail 12 years later. All you have to maintain is a battery and film. Ho hum, thoughts?September 29, 2011 – 5:50 pm
Amen. And I’ll take that hi-five in person when I get out there (in less than 35 days!!!)!September 29, 2011 – 2:23 pm
I want to thank you for the inspiration. I took a trip cross country to go to Burning Man, and it was definitely a life changing experience. I’m not sure I would have jumped out on the limb and did it if it wasn’t for all the inspiration I received when I was in Denver. But, as you said, I want more!!!! I’m not done traveling. I can’t wait for my next adventure!September 29, 2011 – 10:08 am
Couldn’t agree with you more, it tears me apart seeing my close friends back down from opportunities that only come once because of things that will still be there tomorrow. Hopefully someone takes your post to heart and does something about it.September 29, 2011 – 7:26 am

Lately I’ve had a few chats with some other photographers I know about this topic, so I thought I’d jot down a few notes on my experience with my own inspiration, and how I currently approach the whole idea.

Wow, I LOVE Pricilla! Her style is amazing! Thanks for sharing some of your favorites.December 8, 2011 – 4:02 pm
I think the defining part of this post is that transition moving from attempting to emulate those whom you feel have “made it” versus turning that telescope inward and really focusing on turning yourself into a brand. The people whom you’ve chosen to call out as inspiration possess characteristics that embody a strong work ethic and life philosophy that would make someone successful in any field, not just photography. It can be liberating having a solid understanding of your own self and brand and having that reflected in your photography, because at that point you’re not “chasing” clients, you’re being true to yourself and “attracting” the right client. You’re on the right path grasshopper :)

Tim, you are a crack up! I can’t believe I had to wait 2 minutes before I got to hear the theme song for the day. Thanks for sharing this post. I am in a totally unrelated field, but really want to get into photography. I can’t imagine being where you are. Would love to hear about how you first started. If it was as a second shooter, how did you make connections?April 21, 2011 – 8:10 am
woot woot, found my sugar daddy for the next 2 months before i switch continents.
lol but jokes apart love the openess it helps a lot.April 20, 2011 – 10:24 pm
Thanks for your openness… It’s nice to come across a photographer who’s willing to help the little guys ;).
I am very curious about what types of shoots you do each week, as well as how you book your clients/shoots. It seems most of your work is commercial –do you advertise or rely on word of mouth? How did you gain clients when first starting out?April 18, 2011 – 10:04 pm
OH. MY. GOD.

When I saw that you had been selected, I was so stoked for you! I remember meeting you a couple of years ago at that random SmugMug meeting that you came up to in the OC and it seemed like while you had talent, you just weren’t sure what to do with your business. I watched CL off and on last week and I loved all your questions and comments. You rock, dude!April 12, 2011 – 12:10 pm
Really…really great post! Watch you this past weekend and thought you were great! Loved the personality and the intelligent questions. Really hope this weekend is the start of something fantastic for you! I’m really just starting out in his business from square one. I’ve got a lot to learn and I’ll be following you closely! Can’t wait to see what this weekend does for you!April 12, 2011 – 10:14 am

Tim! Ohhhhh Tim.
Never in a million years would I think such a suave gentlemen such as yourself would make me cry, but dammit you did! I can’t thank you enough for the kind, encouraging words, or for the sweet tea birthday vodka. All of us were the perfect compliments to one another and I enjoyed every side splitting moment I spent with you. And hey, don’t hate on the gay bar, I promised I would save you if it came down to it! You & Anthony were such troopers for hangin’ late-night style, made for a birthday to remember. I can confidently say the birthday curse is officially over, all thanks to you guys!!
Once I make my life change, we shall have a skype date to toast with Patron, deal?? Hopefully I’ll see ya sooner rather than later, but until then, I’ll be stalking.
I love ya I love ya I love ya!

It’s so crazy because I feel like I know all of you from just watching you guys online. Such an amazing experience and you are right. A MULTITUDE of people were touched and moved by Jasmine. It’s so inspiring to see how one person is so giving and willing to help others. I am excited to see where you will go in the future! :)April 11, 2011 – 6:19 pm

I loved every second of creative live, and I learned so much from Jasmine. Thanks for your funny comments, and questions Tim – you kept it real :)April 11, 2011 – 12:45 pm
This is a perfect summary of the experience…you definitely have a way with bringing it all full circle! To say that I’m happy I met you would be the understatement of the year. I love you like a brother and it feels appropriate that we didn’t get to say goodbye…it feels more like a “see you later” because I know I definitely will. Keep on doing what you do!

And this is a first time to your blog for me, but – I’ll be adding you to my reader to follow more of your endeavors! Glad to see you were inspired and had fun!April 11, 2011 – 11:23 am
Tim – Seriously loved this blog post. I have been enjoying following everyone on Twitter. I can feel the true friendship that each of you feel for each other from this experience. Curious if you are bidding on the wedding auction? You know you want to!April 11, 2011 – 10:49 am

I read your James Law interview a few weeks back. Consider this a mix of that with some business questions.
- What are your favorite focal lengths and why?
- If you could only take one lens on a trip, which one would it be?
- Do you ever get model releases?
- How much do you think you have invested in your business?(Ballpark)

Thanks for taking the time to do something like this.April 11, 2011 – 7:44 pm
found you through creativelive awesome stuff. one thing I did not hear being discuss is how do you process payment, form clients is it when they hire you do you use a paypal like system for half when they hire you online and then you get the rest in person? and also when shooting lets say a wedding or engagement session in a place do you have permits to photograph there or do you just go and shoot. by the way your photographs are awesome.April 10, 2011 – 10:01 pm
Hi Tim,
I discovered you @creativelive this week-end. Like other i want to know your process and workflow. You have a very great style and eye.
I downloaded some of your pics to see the exif info so i could see that you have several great lenses (24 1.4LII, 50 1.2L, 85 1.2LII, 16-35 2.8L…) and also you use very hight ISO.. i’m always in two minds to use hight iso (i have a MKII as well) Are you using a specific software for your raw files ?
i’m looking forward your next post ! Thanks for sharing.
BorisApril 10, 2011 – 8:54 pm
Hey Tim,
Would love to learn more about how you process your photos. They have a great feel to them.
Regards
MarkApril 10, 2011 – 5:54 pm
Found you through creative live. I’m in San Diego as well…hoping to start second shooting this year. Just curious how you got started second shooting?April 10, 2011 – 1:26 am
Awesome photos Tim! My question is- for your wide angle landscape shots do you photoshop the people out? I love the ones from your Europe trip but I noticed that there are never any people in the way.April 9, 2011 – 5:59 pm
Another subscriber, thanks to CreativeLIVE! You had some really great questions, by the way. I enjoyed the entire two days, and I’m sure being there in person was even more amazing! Just like Catrina, I’d like to know what’s in your camera bag, prices, how long you’ve been shooting for, and if photography is all you do for a living… Thank you in advance, I appreciate it! :)April 9, 2011 – 5:26 pm
I also enjoyed your questions at CreativeLIVE both days and love your work already… New Subscriber !!!!!April 9, 2011 – 4:52 pm
I really enjoyed hearing your questions and comments on the Jasmine Star CreativeLIVE workshop! I’ll be following you from now on :)April 9, 2011 – 4:45 pm
Awesome! Can’t wait :-) Loved our questions on Creative Live yesterdayApril 9, 2011 – 6:58 am
@Emilia – I’ll hit your question in a FULL DETAILED explanation in a post on Monday. Sound good?
@Yuliya – You rock, tweet me if you have any you want me to pass along – @timkingphoto
@Catrina – I’ll do a post on this next Wednesday, but to give you the jist – a bunch of primes and a 5d mk ii, pricing I’ll hit in a post the following week, but it’ll be a GOOD ONE – (I’ll share how much I actually make per month to give the best idea of how my strategy is working)April 9, 2011 – 12:41 am
What’s in your current camera bag? How are you able to market yourself in San Diego and Denver? Where did you start out pricing wise?April 8, 2011 – 6:41 pm
Love your video and it was also nice watching you on creativeLive today, I liked all the questions you asked. So keep asking Jasmine for me, lol ;)April 8, 2011 – 5:46 pm

In honor of one of my favorite holidays, I’ve decided to throw a little “April Fools” contest to win a $150 gift card to Searsucker restaurant in downtown San Diego. If you haven’t been there yet, do yourself a favor and check it out – amazing date spot, right in the heart of the gaslamp....

Check this Tim… So my buddy Birdman fell asleep one day and we happened to have super glue with us. And we couldn’t help but…..

Aight Tim I tryed to do my best to deliver a straight live vid of my april fools joke. Threw some siricha into our coffee pot at work.My bro fell right into the trap.I kinda blew it at the end cause i started bustin up but i told you I was going for the attempt.

dont know if this link takes you to the vid but its on my facebook page . HahaApril 2, 2011 – 5:14 pm
My former teacher pulled this prank this year when taking 45 students to San Diego on a field trip.
She told them on the bus on the way back from seaport village that the hotel found illegal substances in one of the rooms. That when we get back to the hotel that everyone is packing up and we were going home tonight! She was so harsh. The disappointed tone, followed by angry. She let them stew then yelled April fools!!
Dont care if I win. Just thought this was too funny.April 2, 2011 – 1:33 pm
A friend forwarded me this link saying I HAVE to share my April Fool’s prank from yesterday considering how well it went. To put it simply, I created an event on facebook for a fake celebrity-studded event to be held @ XYZ in the W Hotel in San Francisco for the LS Foundation (Lurpa Sloof Foundation). Celebrity appearances included: Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian…as well as Giants’ Buster Posey, Robin Williams, Alicia Silverstone, and former SF mayor Gavin Newsom (since they’re from SF).
It was to be hosted by Opaque, an actual company (I included the link http://sf.darkdining.com/ to add realism) that holds events where you dine in pitch black darkness. Attire was to be any kind of sleepwear from footie pajamas to sexy lingerie to…nude.
This event got much more attention than I had expected. I received endless messages of people trying to RSVP by the midnight deadline. Just after the deadline hit, I broke the news that “Lurpa Sloof” is April Fools spelled backwards and it was all just a big prank.
I ended up pranking 71 people (# who RSVP’d “yes”), after only sending invites to 9 friends in San Francisco. One of my friends (whom I did not send a direct invite to) actually bought a plane ticket from Seattle to SF and ended up having to return it! Needless to say, I had a lot of “I hate you” texts/messages this morning, but it was all worth it. ;)
Here’s the event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=179372205443873April 2, 2011 – 11:29 am
I also share an affinity for April Fool’s day, particularly because my mom joked about going into labor with me while my dad was out of town (my birthday is tomorrow, so I never forget April Fools).
Today, my co-worker and I wrapped every item in my boss’ office with aluminum foil. From her chair and desk to her phone, keyboard and computer monitor. She had to literally unwrap everything before she was able to start working. Foiling is the new TPing! http://yfrog.com/h7m2vwnj (picture from this morning)
Obviously I couldn’t stop there, so I also put small post-it notes under everyone’s optical mouse. Our office was freaking out that their computers were frozen and they couldn’t figure it out. They were trying to restart and unplug everything, until I finally told them.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY!April 1, 2011 – 5:23 pm
I’m not sure if it falls into the category of prank or not. but it worth reading it.
As you may remember I come from a Shi’ite Muslim country. There is a famous month in Islam called Moharam. In this month many people go to mosques every night and they mourn and moan for the loss of one their Imams who was killed 1400 years ago!!! ( This is not a joke,The whole country wears black for that! ). Every night in mosques they turn the lights off and a clerics (Mullah) starts to dramatizing about the moments where the Imam was being murdered by infidels and he encourages the crowd to cry out loud for that. So you can imagine that it is a very serious situation and everyone is crying. usually while the lights are off and people are listening to cleric and crying, a servant from the mosque would come and pour a little bit of rose water on the palm of the hand of each mourner and the mourner rubs it on his face. (It is kind of serves like the holly water in Christianity and people believe that it washes their sins). Now imagine that someone :D :D adds a little bit of ink to the rose water container. since it is dark no one can tell the difference between colors but they can only smells it which of course smells like rose water. after the lights are on almost all the people in the mosque ( sometimes over 1000 people) are entirely have their faces colored. now you can imagine that how pissed they are. :D :D this actually has been done and it is very effective way of mass pranking.April 1, 2011 – 1:51 pm
This morning my bus driver picked up the last of the kids and continued towards school. All of a sudden the bus stops and Ken, my bus driver, has to pull off. He looks really annoyed and makes a phone call the the bus office. Every one shushes so he can talk. He says he thinks the engine has dies. As soon as he gets off the phone, he tells us that we have to walk the rest of the way to school, which is five miles, and the weather is not nice. As everyone unhappily grabs their stuff he shouts APRIL FOOLS! He got us all pretty good. Hope you had a great valentines day Tim. Love ya.April 1, 2011 – 11:25 am
Remember when pet rocks were popular? My dad had a gigantic rock delivered to his brother and left it in the front yard with a note that it was a pet rock. The best joke was what happened next: his brother had a load of pea gravel dumped on our front lawn with a sign that said “Your pet rock had babies.”March 31, 2011 – 7:19 pm
@ Christopher – wow that’s awesome. definitely an A for effort & originality. I’d say you have a strong case for the card so far
@Rachel – make a video of you turning it in – even though it’s not a prank it wins huge points to see someone take charge in life & get out of it what they want. if it’s not working, onto the next!
@olivia – that is COLD BLOODED! i would be scared to be your friends tomorrow haha!March 31, 2011 – 3:54 pm
here are two links of pranks I have pulled on my room mate in lieu of April fools last year. The first link is a video of me super gluing his fingers together when he was passed out. The second is a video of me pieing him in the face as he is stepping into an elevator.

In the old days of Myspace, embedded content was allowed for comments on your friends pages. As a flash web developer, I knew that I could make something to post that was harmless but once changed I could redirect a page to whatever I wanted to. Since comments were on everyone’s profile page, I knew it wouldn’t take long for this prank to spread. A few days before April fools, I posted a comment on every one of my friends pages a comment which was a flash embedded file which consisted of a simple smiley face. To my friends, it was just a smiley face that did nothing, but this file was hosted on a web server of mine, which I could change on the day of April Fools. Once changed, a simple action redirected their page to a page that I made.
So enough with the nerd talk, on April Fool’s day, I changed that file to something that redirected to a mimicked page of Myspace that looked exactly like the page you get when you want to delete your Myspace account that asks if you’d like to delete your account with a big yes or no. No matter what you clicked, it took you to a successfully deleted your Myspace account page. Right below that a button that says, if you’ve done this in error, click here to reinstate your account which then took you to a page that said April fools from me. I had a counter on this page which got into the thousands. I of course implemented a way that set a cookie that if it was set, it didn’t redirect you so it only happened once to someone.
Of course this concept was caught on by others on the web to phish for account information which sucks but was shortly fixed from Myspace, but it was a very creative April Fools joke for me to my friends.
April Fools your account has been deleted! Imagine that in the Facebook era, people would lose their minds :)March 31, 2011 – 3:28 pm

You could easily rename this list “ways to make Jen feel bad about her life”
Just saying :)
That said, take pictures as you go so I can live vicariously through you. K?December 9, 2011 – 10:27 am
Wow, your bucket list is amazing! I have so much that I want to do in life as well. I Love your photography- so beautiful!September 9, 2011 – 4:25 pm
I’ll take you up on number 84.
Great post. Reading this makes me want to find the list I made back 10 yrs ago in high school and see what has happen. I also realize that some of the things we have done are taken for granted while others make bucketlists wishing to do those things. I grew up in NY so we visited the statue of liberty every year as a field trips at school and my parents would take us every time someone visit us and we had to go site seeing.
Good luck with your bucket list. I look forward to reading about your journey.August 2, 2011 – 9:24 am
Love it all and wish I could join on a few of these! I’m excited to see the pictures of your list progression!August 2, 2011 – 7:24 am
Interesting list :) I also learned a few things by reading it through, like the biggest tree in the world and about the ice hotel in Sweden.
Best of luck to you, with your list!February 17, 2011 – 11:30 am
Be careful with #57…that stuff is nuts!February 11, 2011 – 1:18 am

That photo is awesome Tim! It almost doesn’t even look real!February 8, 2011 – 11:09 am
I am loving this list. I just want to copy and paste it for my own. I am definitely down to team up on a few of these. When you get back in town and we go paintballing we can discuss details.
I hope you are enjoying SpainFebruary 7, 2011 – 3:34 pm

Wow Tim! These pictures are AMAZING! You captured the feeling of the weekend so well! I know I wasn’t there, but I guess that just shows you how well you can convey the emotion/mood in your photos. This is by far one of my favorite posts of yours…I can’t believe you had 45 people at thanksgiving dinner…that’s crazy!November 30, 2010 – 11:02 am
Great photos Tim. Your family must be so happy to have photos like these to remember & look back on. You captured so many great moments, it really feels like you’re there when you look at these photos. I soooooooooooo wish I could take photos like youNovember 29, 2010 – 11:44 pm

Awesome job on covering the event, Tim – these photos are really great. I really like the backlighting you used with the red carpet/stage shots. Which lens(es) did you use for this event? Do you use prime lenses or zoom?November 15, 2010 – 12:43 pm

Haha great post Tim, I love it when you post stuff like this…while I love all your photos, I think it’s great when you break outside the normal image-heavy posts and talk about an issue or something important we should think about in life. <3October 3, 2010 – 4:22 pm
Tim, I think this post illustrates a great point. Although, I’ve got to say that when traveling with such expensive gear like you have, while it is important to “show the real side” of the country, it doesn’t mean that you have to go to places other people are scared of. Most times, that is a pretty good indication that there might be something to be a little wary of. Err on the side of precaution when traveling with those costly lenses, no photo is worth experiencing an altercation over.October 1, 2010 – 12:29 pm
Hahaha great post Tim. But in all seriousness, you made some good points about the way we view the world these days. I feel like there is so much direction to live in fear via the news, etc…it gets frustrating sometimes. It’s good to hear you ignoring all the hoopla and just doing your own thing. I’m sure you’ll be just fine, because while it may be dangerous in some places, the world as a whole is a GOOD place. Keep us updated on your travels!September 30, 2010 – 9:41 pm

I had to split the Colorado trip into 2 posts because, like I said in the last post – I basically CRAMMED everything I could into the 9 days I was in town. The main reason for my trip was to come out and see my brother’s band play, as the past couple years have...

Wow the sky is beautiful! How come I can never get pictures of the stars like that?? No matter where I go, I can’t get the stars!
How do you do it!!!September 3, 2010 – 12:53 pm
Wow. That’s what I have to say about this trip. I literally packed everything I possibly could into this trip & made it one of the most fun, adventurous, and exciting trips to Colorado I’ve ever taken. Imagine that you have a large glass fishbowl. You grab some golf balls and pour them into the...

Wellshire is an awesome place. Never been to a better driving range than theirs, and the great thing is that there’s always a spot open to hit.
You gotta check out Rendleton’s range out here next time you visit. Hit me up next time you’re out here.September 15, 2010 – 11:35 am
I like the shots of the farmer’s market stuff – our city really has some good stuff, doesn’t it?
The pot farm post in the newspaper is classic.September 12, 2010 – 10:51 am

Way to capture our town, Timmah. These photos are pretty cool!September 3, 2010 – 3:49 pm
This post doesn’t really have anything to do with photography, but rather as just a personal entry for me to look back on in the future. I want to remember this day and what it felt like exactly so I thought I would write it down on here, because – hey, that’s what I use...

This was another booth I was really excited about. Yeah, even MORE excited than I am with other sporadic events that ask I bring a photobooth to the party. Why? Well, one of the main reasons I like photobooths is because I like buying stuff. Not sure why, but I just like the feeling of...

So I debated whether or not I should “actually” post this on my blog…but after thinking it over and deciding that I want to really put my life out there, for YOU to get to know – I decided I’d go ahead and share. A few days ago, I took another one of my “photowalks,”...

Hey Barry – funny thing, the guy never showed! Got off clean on this one!February 24, 2010 – 4:22 pm
Cops are assholes sometimes man, hope this works out for you and they don’t show up in court or somethingFebruary 18, 2010 – 4:21 pm
Awesome pictures! In court, let the judge know about the gate–if it’s unlikely that the judge would buy that you did not see the signs, say that you saw them but thought that they were inapplicable since the gate was wide open and you did not see any dangerous activity going on (as you had assumed that the reason for the sign was to keep people away from dangerous activity).
Judges have a lot of discretion and may throw out the ticket–preface the above discussion by profusely apologizing, e.g. “I want to first say that I am so sorry to the officers and company guards for inconveniencing them and causing them concern over my and my friend’s safety. The last thing we wanted to do was cause trouble that day. However, we noticed the gate wide open and assumed that meant that it was safe to enter…”February 8, 2010 – 10:56 pm
Tim! What a ride man…. I’m glad that we didn’t get in too much trouble.
The final verdict is still out, but Im sure that we’ll be fine!
Great shots man.January 20, 2010 – 6:17 am
Great story! It’s very appreciative to see the vulnerability in people and it’s humbling to be open and honest. The character of the photographer has a voice in his photos. Like an iceberg, we know that you’re only showing 10% in your photography and pursuits, and the 90% is underneath the surface. I dig that you’re comfortable giving a glimpse of what’s beneath the 10%……. ya dig!January 18, 2010 – 5:59 pm

I take a trip to Boulder, Colorado, feature some photos of Boulder and a few hiking trails in Colorado. In this post, you will see photos of snow in Colorado, pictures of my family & friends, plus a big panoramic shot of the boulder skyline.

Great Photos Tim! Looks like fun (and cold!)January 6, 2010 – 7:52 pm
Penguins wearing gloves, Tim? Now you’re just getting ridiculous.January 5, 2010 – 12:04 pm
